What are the three elements or definitions of a problem in community policing?

A clear and present danger, a legal loophole, and a societal concern
A cluster of similar incidents, a community concern, a unit of police business
A budgetary issue, an operational hurdle, and a public relations crisis
An internal conflict, an inefficiency in process, and a community complaint

The correct answer is: A cluster of similar incidents, a community concern, a unit of police business

The three elements of a problem in community policing are a cluster of similar incidents, a community concern, and a unit of police business. Option A is incorrect because it does not mention the important factor of involvement of the community. Option C is incorrect because budget, operational challenges, and public relations crises are not considered elements or definitions of a problem in community policing. Option D is incorrect because while it does mention community complaints, it does not address the other two important elements, namely a cluster of similar incidents and a unit of police business.
